The small weapon reasearch team of Wolf Mountains has begun researching weapons of archery. They expect the items to be available soon, as well as handy devices.


Arrows


Wolf Mountains Arrow

The reasearch team has tested differnt woods from Wolf Mountains, and found a tree with worthy qualitys. Methods for taking wood, but allowing the tree to live were developed, allowing for the forest to continue to thrive. The mountain arrows are quite long, their shafts carefully tested to be straight, and the feathers from some of the finest birds who would constinantly shed old feathers and grow stronger new ones. The shaft isn't thick, but provides enough strength not to break on impact. The arrowhead is made of the finest steel Wolf Mountains very few blacksmiths could make, and extremely sharp, but only large enough to wound, but not hinder the speed and length at which the arrow flys. Due to some of the rare items, these arrows are expected to cost a lot. Excess wood is used in the wood-chip industry.


Retrievable Arrows

Retrievable Arrows are nearly exactly alike to Wolf Mountain Arrows, except that they have a small hole in which leather string can be attached to an anchor stone, which is being researched, that can be placed into a pouch in the belt of the user. This arrow is being intended for fishing from long distances.


More information from Wolf Mountains Researchers should be released soon. The Wolf, the leader of Wolf Mountains, hints that a special bow for these arrows should be nearly finished being researched.

Special Report from The Wolf


The Wolf Mountains Bow has finnally finished being researched. It is made from the finest wood, like the arrows, and carefully hand twined leather from cows killed for beef. The handgrip is sturdy leather, and carefully adjusted to be held. The bow is around five feet high, and requires some strength to draw fully.

A special quiver, called Wolf Mountains Quivers, has been designed specially for Wolf Mountains arrows, made from the best leather from Wolf Mountains, and the stitching method carefully researched.

For those wanting to use Retrievable Wolf Mountain arrows, as they have now been decided to be called, a pouch for stone anchors and extra retrieving leather string has been made to fit on oridinarly belts or Wolf Mountains Quivers. Stone anchors have been carefully carved with grooves and holes to secure leather retrieving strings, which are twined and tested for strength and durability.

We of Wolf Mountains are awaiting comments from other nations before making these devices available for sell.
